Katulampa floodgate, Water management structure in Katulampa, Indonesia
Description
The Katulampa floodgate is a water management structure that controls the flow from the Ciliwung River using a system of gates and barriers positioned between Bogor and Jakarta. The installation allows water to be released in controlled amounts to prevent flooding in downstream areas.
History
The floodgate was built to control the amount of water flowing downstream from the Ciliwung River into populated areas. A severe flooding event in Jakarta during February 2007 highlighted the critical role this installation plays in protecting downstream communities.
Culture
The name reflects the location where it stands in Katulampa. Local people watch water levels closely and share flood information through their networks, making it part of their daily awareness during rainy seasons.
Practical
Visitors should plan their trip during or shortly after rainfall to see the installation operating actively. The best times to observe the gates in action are during the rainy season when water flow is strongest.
Did you know?
The installation operates using a precise measurement system that activates different alert levels as water reaches certain heights. This early warning mechanism gives communities hours of preparation time before water arrives at downstream locations.
